FURNACE FOR BURNING MATERIALS,

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 767,180, dated August 9, 1904. Application filed OctoherlO, 1902. Serial No. 126.777- (No model.)

To all whom, it 771/661] concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES WALDREN STANTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at 'Mobile, in the county of Mobile and State of Alabama, have invented new and useful Improvements in Furnaces for Burning Material, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in furnaces for burning materials, such as brick, tile, or other earthy substances; and it consists of the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more specifically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Referring to the invention in detail, referenceis had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout both views, in

stantially cylindrical in contour and provided in its top with a dome 2, the latter having a discharge-opening 3, in which is hermetically connected the lower end of the gas-take-off pipe 4. The other end of the gas-take-off pipe 4 terminates in a worm 7 arranged in the receptacle 7, forming a condensing-chamber, in which is placed a suitable cooling medium. The end of the worm 7 projects from the receptacle 7 and terminatesin a pipe 7 for the discharge of the products of condensation or the uncondensed products into a suitable receptacle 5, forming a reservoir. The receptacle is provided with a liquid seal 6, which prevents any back pressure of air to the worm and further prevents the escape to the atmosphere of any of the uncondensed products.

The reference-numeral 7 denotes a draw-off cock for the products of condensation, and

the reference-numeral 8 denotes a draw-off cock for the uncondensed products, which may be discharged into the atmosphere or carried to any suitable point and used for any suitable purposes. The receptacles 5 and 7 are provided with suitable inlet and outlet cocks. To the draw-off cock 8 is connected a suitable suction device 8 The furnace-wall 1 is constructed with a door 10 to permit of entrance to the interior of the furnace, and this door 10 when closed is adapted to be hermetically sealed. The interior of the furnace 1 is also provided with an annular plate 11, provided with openings 11 for supporting the material to be burned 'or dried. The interior of the furnace is also 'the cooks 7 and 8.

The reference character 9 denotes a fillingpipe provided with a cut-off and which is connected to the top of the receptacle 5.

The invention aims to hermetically seal the chamber in which the material is placed, so that it will be thoroughly burned, the draft being taken from the entrance to the ashpit 15.

It isthought the many advantages of such a construction can be readily understood from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and it is thought that minor changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

In combination, a furnace provided with an apertured plate forming thereby a chamber above the fire-box, said chamber being closed condensing apparatus and extending in said I and provided with an entrance-opening, a herreservoir near the bottom thereof. meticaiiy-sealable door for said opening, a 1n testimony whereof I have hereunto set take-off pipe connected to the top of said furmy hand in presence of two subscribing Witnace and communicating with the interior nesses.

thereof, a condensing apparatus comniunicat- CHARLES WALDREN STANTON. ing with the outer end of said take-ofi' pipe, a WVitnesses:

reservoir adapted to contain a liquid seal, and GEO. W. REA,

a pipe communicating with the bottom of said PHILIP N. TILDEN.
